Independent dealers don’t succeed in isolation—they succeed together. Joining our state association means investing in the protection, profitability, and long-term strength of your dealership. Membership gives you a unified voice at the Capitol, standing guard against harmful regulation while actively advancing legislation that protects dealer rights.
Beyond advocacy, the association delivers real, immediate value through exclusive discounts, compliance guidance you can trust, and direct access to industry leaders who understand your challenges. Most importantly, it connects you to a powerful community of successful dealers who share best practices, solve problems together, and help each other grow.
